L'Occitane Cleansing Water for face, eyes and lips


Description given on bottle:

A gentle alcohol-free make-up remover that tones skin in one step. This unique fluid, rich in orange blossom floral water, Shea and cassia extract, is perfectly adapted to dry skin and respects the fragility of the eye area. After use, the skin is soft, the complexion refreshed and luminous.

To use: Apply in morning and evening with a cotton pad or spray it directly onto the face for a refreshing effect. May also be used in conjuction with Cleansing Milk.


This product has a really nice fragrance, light and floral. Feels really good after a hot day, when you've washed your face because it is very refreshing when sprayed directly onto the face. However, you have to be careful as even though this product states that it is alright to be used on the eye area, it is NOT alright when it gets in your eyes. So while spraying do avoid spraying on the eye area and please close your eyes because it stings a lot.


Dries quite quickly too, in about 15 seconds. The spray isn't that good though, it takes a few squirts to actually get a big shot of mist, but what i really think is the best about this product is the fragrance, light and not overpowering.


Comes in 100ml. Retails for about 20 USD, 30SGD. Available at L'Occitane counters in Takashimaya Ngee Ann City and the shop in Takashimaya. There should be a L'Occitane shop in Ngee Ann City too.


Overall rating: ♥♥♥ Not bad.

Okay im sure the title of this product is a wee bit confusing. Just by reading the name, one would think it is a moisturiser. Well, this is in fact, not a moisturiser.


This is actually a light weight alcohol-free toner that is supposed to tone your skin without stripping it of it's natural moisture like some other alcohol toners.



What i like is the fact that it does not contain alcohol. I find that toners that contain alcohol smell rather bad and also leave my face feeling parched. Some might find alcohol-based toners refreshing, but this is one example of a toner that leaves you feeling refreshed without the harsh use of alcohol.You only need to use a wee bit of it on a cotton pad every night, after you have cleansed your face and before you put on your other creams.



It smells rather floral-y, and feels light on the face. Takes about 30 secs to get fully absorbed and plumps up skin. Looks just like water actually.



Now this is a product i would really recommend to you all. I have oily/combination skin and due to hormones, small zits and blackheads on my nose. After about a week of using this toner, i noticed a very obvious difference in my skin.


This is not a product that claims to work but actually does not. It did wonders for my skin, something which i thought was a lost cause. It surprisingly helped my pimply skin, and my skin cleared up a lot after a week. I was pleasantly surprised because i've gone through so many prducts which claim to help my skin and none work and when i came over this product, i thought it was just another 'say not do' product. So yes, i definitely recommend this highly, and so this has the honour of being the first product to star on my blog!


Retails at about 30USD, bout 45SGD? Not very sure, but it is certainly worth every cent! You can get this at any Shu Uemura counter, theres one in Tangs Orchard, Takashimaya Orchard and Metro Paragon. (Singapore)
